Alleged graft: ICPC to arraign El-Rufai

The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) will on Tuesday arraign former Kaduna State governor, Malam Nasir El-Rufa’i, before the Federal High Court sitting in Kaduna.

The ICPC Spokesperson, John Odey, said this in a statement on Monday in Abuja.

According to him, El-Rufa’i will be arraigned alongside Joel Adoga in a case marked FHC/KD/73/2026.

He said that the charges filed against them included alleged conversion and possession of public property, as well as money laundering.

Odey said that the anti-graft agency had also filed a separate case before the Kaduna State High Court against El-Rufa’i and Amadu Sule (LEDA).

“The case, with charge number KDH/KAD/ICPC/01/26, borders on allegations of abuse of office, fraud, intent to commit fraud, and conferring undue advantage.

“Both cases were filed on March 18, 2026. While the Federal High Court arraignment is scheduled for March 24, the date for the State High Court proceedings will be communicated in due course.

“The ICPC confirmed that El-Rufa’i has been duly served with the charges.”

He reiterated the commission’s commitment to due process and adherence to the rule of law in the prosecution of corruption-related offences.
